Butler remained undefeated in the Horizon League with a win at Cleveland State on Saturday. The Bulldogs are one of five teams still undefeated in conference play (Kansas, Murray State, Sam Houston State, Morgan State). Butler plays Siena in the Bracket Buster next Saturday.

Key Wins: Northwestern (Road), Ohio State (Home), Xavier (Home)

3. Northern Iowa Panthers (1)

Record: 22-3, 13-2 MVC

RPI: 13

Northern Iowa had a six-game winning streak snapped at Bradley. During that streak, the Panthers won five of the six by single digits—these games came down the wire. This time, Northern Iowa was on the wrong end of a close game and lost 68-59. Northern Iowa hosts Old Dominion in the Bracket Buster.

Siena lost their first game in conference play at Niagara. This is the second straight year that the Saints took an undefeated season to Western New York and lost. Niagara looked like the team it was supposed to be at the start of the year, controlling the second half and winning 87-74. Siena got lucky that St. Mary's lost twice this week. Otherwise, it would dropped down in the rankings.

Key Wins: Northeastern (Home), Fairfield (Road), Iona (Road)

Key Losses: Northern Iowa (Road), Niagara (Road)

5. St. Mary's Gaels (5)

Record: 21-5, 8-3 WCC

7. Old Dominion Monarchs (8)

Record: 20-7, 12-3 CAA

RPI: 36

Old Dominion moved into second place in the CAA with a win over George Mason on Saturday.

Following a loss at Penn, Cornell barely survived at Princeton with a 48-45 win. A loss would have sent the Big Red plummeting in the rankings. The Big Red got lucky that a lot of the teams below them lost this week, otherwise they could have been much lower.
